Jim Kubiak: Josh Allen, Bills played their best vs. Chiefs because of what they didn’t do. Take a look
‘The biggest takeaway from this game, in my opinion, was getting an opportunity to touch the ceiling. What we saw was every player, including Allen, doing his job to the best of his ability. The team came together, much like they did against the Baltimore Ravens in an important Week 1 victory – but in this game, they did it more consistently and in a more physically dominant way.’
Bills GM opens up on trade deadline frustration, echoes fan sentiment
‘“Believe me, I went home as mad as any other fan,” Beane said Wednesday. “I wanted to do things. I’m always wanting to do things to make this team better. It’s not a store where you can just go in and say, ‘Hey, I’ll pay $20 and take this player.’ It takes two to be able to do it. We’re competitive, we’re always trying, not just on the trade deadline. We’re always looking.”’

Bills just made 3 defensive roster moves after their huge win against the Chiefs

Bills feel they have a championship roster despite trade deadline deals falling through
‘“My job is to not be reckless with this role,” Beane said. “It’s not fantasy football. Fantasy football is awesome for what it brings to our game … but there’s so many things — ramifications of cost and draft picks. … You can’t make decisions in a vacuum or a silo. They all have long-term effects.”’
Dalton Kincaid still seeing limited snaps despite being Bills’ top receiving threat
‘Even Sunday, when Kincaid was the team’s most effective receiver, he only played 34.8% of the snaps. Every time Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has been asked about Kincaid’s playing time this season, he says he has to play him more. “Anybody that’s catching the ball and doing good things with it, that’s a good revelation by Joe,” Bills coach Sean McDermott quipped Wednesday.’
